Person

I am an affiliated researcher in Phonetics at Lund University, with expertise in articulation, prosody, and linguistic variation. My research focuses on the role of the body in shaping spoken language – how rhythm, melody, and intensity emerge from physiological possibilities and constraints.

I am particularly interested in general patterns in spoken language and how articulation interacts with prosody. My work combines methods such as ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI), electromagnetic articulography (EMA), and MARRYS to capture the dynamics of speech production.

I received my PhD in Phonetics from Lund University in 2020 with the thesis Articulation in time: Some word-initial segments in Swedish.

I have been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship and will begin my position at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in July 2026.
